Thomas Starr King Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDFFGGHHIIIJJ| The great work laid upon his twoscore years | A |
| Is done and well done If we drop our tears | B |
| Who loved him as few men were ever loved | C |
| We mourn no blighted hope nor broken plan | D |
| With him whose life stands rounded and approved | E |
| In the full growth and stature of a man | D |
| Mingle O bells along the Western slope | F |
| With your deep toll a sound of faith and hope | F |
| Wave cheerily still O banner half way down | G |
| From thousand masted bay and steepled town | G |
| Let the strong organ with its loftiest swell | H |
| Lift the proud sorrow of the land and tell | H |
| That the brave sower saw his ripened grain | I |
| O East and West O morn and sunset twain | I |
| No more forever has he lived in vain | I |
| Who priest of Freedom made ye one and told | J |
| Your bridal service from his lips of gold | J |
